One of the best ways I've heard of to "encourage" people not to directly
link is to:
1) change the image name for your site
2) change the linked image to a porno type photo. That tends to get
auctions shut
down fairly quickly :).
here or there... I had a huge spike in bandwidth
usage one time and
started to investigate, I had found nearly 4 dozen Atari related
auctions running on ebay at any given time using stolen images directly
linking from my server, so I cut off access to the ebay and subset

I did that one time (not a porno pic) but I replaced the file with a
picture saying "PICTURE STOLEN FROM ATARI MUSEUM" and that got the
sellers attention VERY quickly :-)

Yep, this is what we do at mobygames.com (any linked images are replaced
on the fly with "Visit MobyGames.com!")

Do you have any pictures of machines that are charred, melted, smashed,
rusty, with bugs and weeds growing in them?

Just take the ones linked and let your friend Photoshop
do the weed growing. Also nice, Picasso like deformations :)
